Dell T105 upgrade today:

	- 8GB RAM
	- quad core Opteron 1352

Works great, Solaris is happy.

The only thing is that Solaris reports I should fix CPU errata 131.   
It said that even with the dual-core CPU.

Some people say this errata is bogus, and that Solaris and newer  
OpenSolaris are reporting it in error.

Obviously I've not worried about it for a year, and only realized it  
about 2 months back, but would hate to have trouble if it really is a  
problem.

Anyway, nice upgrade, and pretty cheap too, since I didn't get it from  
Dell.

Should be more than enough to run my servers and also a nice ZFS  
raid... :)
